Burger King Launches New Bacon King Burger

Burger King's latest burger is the new Bacon King, which features a half-pound of flame-grilled beef and six slices of thick-cut bacon and is available at participating locations.

In addition to the two quarter-pound beef patties and bacon, the burger also includes two slices of American cheese, ketchup, and mayo on a toasted sesame seed bun.

It sounds a bit like Burger King's somewhat-late answer to Wendy's Baconator, which has been around for some time now

No word yet on pricing but I expect it to be somewhere north of $5 (Update 10/11/16 - The suggested price on the burger is $5.99).
